319.16
32 - the "so much new stuff you eyes will pop out" release.
33 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
34 - remove support for libafterimage.
35 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
36 Hemmer).
37 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
38 patch by Jan Larres).
39 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
40 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
41 as diagnosed by clang.
42 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
43 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
44 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
45 nickfailure@gmail.com).
46 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
47 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
48 libptytty instead.
49 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
50 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
51 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
52 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
53 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
54 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
55 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
56 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
57 which show up in -help etc.
58
599.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
60 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
61 thinks thats an error.
62 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
63 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
64 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
65 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
66 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
67 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
68 and destination in composite operations.
69 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
70 for tabs.
71 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
72 Sung Pae).
73 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
74 - fix -C option on solaris.
75
769.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
77 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
78 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
79 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
80 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
81 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
82 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
83 to disable both scaling and tiling.
84 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
85 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
86 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
87 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
88 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
89 in the next release.
90 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
91 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
92 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
93 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
94 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
95 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
96 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
97 Filardo).
98 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
99 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
100 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
101 the cell size.
102 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
103 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
104 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
105 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
106 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
107 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
108 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
109 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
110 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
111 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
112 (Bob Farrell).
113 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
114 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
115 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
116 Pohlack).
117 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
118 Michael Stapelberg).
119 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
120 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
121 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
122 edge (Mikachu).
123 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
124 handle exceptions better.
125 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
126 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
127
1289.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
129 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
130 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
131 support the UTF8_STRING target.
132 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
133 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
134 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
135 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
136 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
137 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
138 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
139 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
140 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
141 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
142
1439.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
144 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
145 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
146 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
147 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
148 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
149 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
150 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
151 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
152 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
153 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
154 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
155 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
156 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
157 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
158 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
159 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
160 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
161 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
162 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
163 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
164 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
165 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
166 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
167 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
168 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
169 with gcc.
170 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
171 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
172 - document 'thickness' resource.
173 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
174 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
175 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
176 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
177 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
178 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
179 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
180 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
181 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
182 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
183 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
184
1859.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
186 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
187 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
188 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
189 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
190 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
191 failures with gcc 4.5.
192 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
193 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
194 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
195 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
196 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
197 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
198 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
199 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
200 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
201 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
202 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
203 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
204 and has fewer limitations.
205 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
206 startup for the upper left corner.
207 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
208 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
209 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
210 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
211 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
212 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
213 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
214 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
215 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
216 - fix build on XFree86.
217 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
218 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
219 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
220 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
221
2229.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
223 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
224 - the bestest release ever.
225 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
226 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
227 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
228 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
229 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
230 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
231 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
232 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
233 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
234 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
235 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
236 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
237 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
238 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
239 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
240 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
241 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
242 characters other than first one in the selected cell
243 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
244 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
245 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
246 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
247 (found by Mikachu).
248 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
249 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
250 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
251 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
252 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
253 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
254 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
255 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
256 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
257 for 256 colours.
258 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
259 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
260 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
261 88*88 possible pairs.
262 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
263 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
264 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
265 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
266 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
267 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
268 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
269 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
270 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
271 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
272 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
273 backspacekey was given.
274 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
275 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
276 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
277 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
278 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
279 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
280
2819.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
282 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
283 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
284 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
285 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
286 Mikachu).
287 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
288 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
289 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
290 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
291 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
292 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
293 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
294 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
295 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
296 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
297 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
298 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
299 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
300 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
301 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
302 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
303 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
304 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
305 - update to libptytty 1.3.
306 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
307 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
308 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
309 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
310 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
311 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
312 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
313 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
314 in need of fixing. go figure.
315 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
316 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
317 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
318 the new ->selection_screen method.
319 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
320 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
321 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
322 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
323 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
324 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
325
3269.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
327 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
328 - updates libev to 3.48.
329 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
330 when a window was closed.
331 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
332 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
333 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
334 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
335 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
336 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
337 makes copy&paste work.
338 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
339 no longer apply.
340 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
341 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
342 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
343 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
344 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
345 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
346 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
347 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
348 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
349 the only known workaround.
350 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
351 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
352 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
353 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
354 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
355 disabling size hints.
356 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
357 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
358 as mouse reporting.
359 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
360 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
361 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
362 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
363 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
364 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
365 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
366 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
367 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
368 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
369 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
370 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
371
3729.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
373 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
374 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
375 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
376 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
377 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
378 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
379 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
380 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
381 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
382 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
383 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
384 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
385 help working window managers as well.
386 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
387 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
388 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
389 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
390 from the toplevel window to the children.
391 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
392 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
393 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
394 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
395
3969.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
397 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
398 - fix build with !xft.
399 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
400
4019.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
402 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
403 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
404 received" problem, again :)
405 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
406
4079.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
408 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
409 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
410 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
411 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
412 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
413 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
414 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
415 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
416 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
417 channels or background images are used.
418 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
419 till the first event arrives. or so.
420 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
421 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
422 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
423 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
424 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
425 resets the terminal.
426 - scrollbar code cleanups.
427 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
428 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
429 - updated to libev 3.0.
430
4318.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
432 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
433 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
434 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
435 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
436 would not clear it visually in another.
437 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
438 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
439 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
440 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
441 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
442 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
443
4448.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
445 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
446 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
447 effects.
448 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
449 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
450 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
451 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
452 text was visible.
453 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
454 some minor improvements.
455 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
456 display and not once per terminal window.
457 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
458
4598.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
460 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
461 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
462 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
463
4648.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
465 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
466 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
467 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
468 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
469 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
470 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
471 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
472
4738.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
474 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
475
4768.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
477 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
478 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
479 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
480 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
481 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
482 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
483 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
484 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
485 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
486 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
487 - parallel builds should work once more.
488
4898.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
490 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
491 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
492 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
493 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
494 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
495 missing DISPLAY.
496 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
497 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
498 - updated io_manager.
499
5008.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
501 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
502 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
503 /usr/X11R6/lib.
504 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
505 patch by Sasha Vasko.
506 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
507 (patch by Philip Paeps).
508 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
509 (patch by Mikachu).
510 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
511 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
512 digit (exg).
513 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
514 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
515 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
516 extension (tpope).
517 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
518 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
519 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
520 problems.
521
5228.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
523 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
524 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
525 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
526 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
527 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
528 (found by Aiviru).
529 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
530 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
531 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
532 case to work around for :/
533 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
534 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
535 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
536 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
537 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
538 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
539 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
540 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
541 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
542 Paskevich).
543 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
544 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
545 - update libptytty.
546 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
547 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
548 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
549 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
550 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
551 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
552 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
553 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
554 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
555
5568.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
557 - ｹﾘｽﾏｽﾌ゚ﾚｾ゙ﾝﾄ - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
558 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
559 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
560 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
561 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
562 Reported by Takano Akio.
563 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
564 reported by exg.
565 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
566 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
567 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
568 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
569
5708.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
571 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
572 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
573 circumstances (reported by exg).
574 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
575 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
576 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
577 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
578 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
579 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
580 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
581 - update to libptytty-1.0.
582 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
583 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
584 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
585 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
586 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
587 bug #143985).
588 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
589 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
590 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
591 - manpage fix by exg.
592
5937.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
594 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
595 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
596 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
597 it does! :->
598 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
599 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
600
6017.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
602 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
603 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
604 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
605 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
606 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
607 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
608 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
609 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
610 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
611 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
612 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
613 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
614 uppercase character.
615 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
616 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
617 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
618 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
619 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
620 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
621 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
622 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
623 generic osc_seq.
624 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
625 were invoked recursively.
626 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
627 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
628 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
629 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
630 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
631 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
632 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
633 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
634 by omatunto_.
635 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
636 follow C++ closely enough.
637 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
638 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
639 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
640 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
641
6427.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
643 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
644 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
645 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
646 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
647 click, and eats the click.
648 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
649 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
650 refresh bugs please.
651 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
652 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
653 improve size hint setting.
654 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
655 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
656 to correctly position their preedit window.
657 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
658 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
659 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
660 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
661 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
662 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
663 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
664 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
665 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
666 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
667 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
668 (reported by Paco-Paco).
669 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
670 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
671 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
672
6737.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
674 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
675 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
676 resource value.
677 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
678 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
679 relevant tab window.
680 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
681 (initial patch by hednod).
682 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
683 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
684 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
685 the benefit of automove-background.
686 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
687 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
688 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
689 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
690 __linux__.
691 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
692 the colour components.
693 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
694 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
695 - more colour rtt optimisations.
696 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
697 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
698 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
699 - minor libptytty update.
700
7017.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
702 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
703 detection:
704 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
705 - overlap detection was improved.
706 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
707 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
708 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
709 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
710 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
711 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
712 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
713 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
714 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
715 broken.
716 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
717 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
718 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
719 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
720 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
721 (patch by Paco-Paco).
722 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
723 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
724 an "[alpha]" prefix.
725 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
726 transparent. Long Live Xft!
727 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
728 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
729 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
730 on a pseudocolor screen.
731 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
732 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
733 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
734 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
735 - small configure updates.
736 - further RTT optimisations.
737 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
738 the debian package.
739 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
740 but much newer than the old one.
741
7427.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
743 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
744 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
745 - small configure updates for libptytty.
746 - fixed version options: line output.
747 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
748
7497.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
750 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
751 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
752 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
753 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
754 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
755 selection extension.
756 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
757 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
758 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
759 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
760 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
761 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
762 needs the careful rendering mode.
763 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
764 too wide and needs careful mode.
765 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
766 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
767 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
768 atoms only once per display.
769 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
770 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
771 xterm.
772
7737.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
774 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
775 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
776 getenv (reproducible: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
777 ctrl-shift-672c).
778 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
779 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
780 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
781 the primary screen.
782 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
783 could lead to an assertion failure.
784 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
785 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
786 via mouse clicks.
787 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
788 with shift - mouse button 2.
789 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
790 in non-synthetic events.
791 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
792 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
793 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
794 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
795 whole urxvt[d] process.
796 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
797 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
798 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
799 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
800
8017.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
802 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
803 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
804 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
805 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
806 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
807 special privileges.
808 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
809 itself.
810 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
811 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
812 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
813 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
814 similar stuff.
815 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
816 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
817 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
818 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
819 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
820 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
821 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
822 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
823 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
824 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
825 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
826 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
827 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
828 (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
829 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
830 to set the window title.
831 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
832 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
833 at the wrong time.
834 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
835 anymore.
836 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
837 - nuked QNX support.
838 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
839 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
840 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
841 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
842
8437.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
844 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
845 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
846 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
847 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
848 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
849 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
850 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
851 and much much more.
852 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
853 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
854 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
855 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
856 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
857 setuid/setgid.
858 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
859 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
860 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
861 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
862 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
863 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
864 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
865 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
866 compatible, and not really small either.
867 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
868 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
869 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
870 to crashes.
871 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
872 colours.
873 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
874 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.
875
8766.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
877 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
878 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
879 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
880 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
881 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
882 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
883 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
884 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
885 by Mikachu).
886 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
887 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
888 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
889 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
890 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
891 Not guaranteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
892 - fix directory permissions on install.
893 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
894 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
895 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
896 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
897 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.
898
8996.2 Mon Jan 2 16:03:01 CET 2006
900 - implemented intensityStyles option which enables/disables bold/blink
901 selecting high intensity foreground/background colours, suggested by
902 Chuck Blake.
903 - move iso14755 character feedback box out of the way if it would
904 obscure the mouse cursor position.
905 - replaced callback.h by a fixed version from gvpe that correctly
906 returns the callback result (affects new -pty-fd semantics in urxvtc
907 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
908 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
909 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
910 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
911 transfer efficiency.
912 - further minor cleanups.
913
9146.1 Tue Dec 27 13:23:40 CET 2005
915 - update iso8859-7 table (euro and drachma round-trip et al.).
916 - fix a crash when the selection scrolls out of the scrollback
917 while the user still drags.
918 - selections that were partially scrolled out of the window were
919 not drawn correctly.
920 - lines newly scrolled in were not initialized properly, leading
921 to extremely long lines and (hopefully) some segfaults.
922 - iso14755 overlay position was wrong.
923 - iso14755 overlay now displays rendition info, too.
924 - use unicode white space class instead of hardcoded values for
925 stripping whitespace.
926 - do whitespace stripping on rectangular selections.
927 - slight cleanups in src/features.h.

9296.0 Sat Dec 24 13:58:56 CET 2005

933 (also a bug in original rxvt).
934 - initialize termios structure to zero when fetching it fails
935 (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=84647 for a
936 partial patch).
937 - bump max columns/rows to 10000 each.
938 - bump max savelines to 10000000.
939 - -pty-fd now passes the urxvtc fd to the urxvtd process.
940 - avoid linking against -lnsl/-lsocket/-lxpg4 unless necessary.
941 - major code cleanup (still not complete, though).
942 - implement -hold option.
943 - _major_ rewrite of internal buffer handling:
944 - re-flow on resize, lines get wrapped instead of winged.
945 - circular line buffer (substantially speeds up scrolling).
946 - slightly less code + data memory usage per terminal.
947 - slight overall speed improvements.
948 - considerably improved code clarity.
949 - partial-screen scrolls no longer end up in the scrollback
950 buffer.
